RFK Jr fired everyone on ACIP, out of concern for conflicts of interest, but he’s made an embarrassment out of this whole country by saying Tylenol causes autism based on a study by a guy who made $150k testifying against Tylenol…and whose testimony was so unreliable it was thrown out by the judge.
